Hi N_O,

Thanks a lot for your reply. I will wait until the end of this month. Perhaps I have to email them, right?

Yes, you have to email them, and they are supposed to tell you the reason behind being late, as your application was supposed to be processed according to the processing times.

Good luck!

Hello,

Did you email these documents (CV, publication lists, etc) to OttPilot-immigration @ cic.gc.ca or you mail them? They asked me the same documents and I don't know whether to send them by mail or email.

Thank you very much

Would you like to share your timeline? If yes, please post your dates, nationality, number of persons, ecas status, and kind of work experience.

Almost everything with exception to things like police cert, ielts results can be send via email.

Thank you very much for your quick reply. Since I got formal letters with signatures from bank and university, I think it is better if I mail them directly to the following address. What do you think? By the way, is the following address accurate (I omitted the French part)?

Case Processing Pilot - Ottawa
Citizenship and Immigration Canada
219 Laurier Avenue West Ottawa ON K1A 1L1
7th Floor
Ottawa ON K1A 1L1 Canada

There are two rather contradictory sentences in the letter. That's why I was confused about sending it by mail or email:

1) When attaching your document(s), please ensure that they are smaller than 5MB and that each document is attached individually.

2) Please quote your complete application number on your correspondence and address your correspondence to the address indicated below.

I think it is a generic note in the bottom, in case they are asking for police certificate you have to send it to the address, others would be sent by email.

I added them, but what about the kind of experience, number of persons, and nationality? Let me guess, is it Iranian?

 

[Parkinson]

Unfortunately her RA is all part-time. So in this case the answer is "NO"? You mean they asked here for just fulltime experience? and the equivalent is not accepted?

She is not eligible to apply, she has not completed 2 years towards her PhD! She ca not apply before Sep. 2013.

 

[zorroo]

Based on current results, does CPP accept work experience from back home? and if yes, what was the criteria for them? I mean which kind of experiences do they accept? Do they give any adaptability point to phd student because of 2 year study in Canada or Canadian work experience based on RA/TA? if one of the moderators or active members could come up with some conclusions about successful cases up to now, it would be helpful for everyone.

Actually she started September 2010 and if you check the end part of the letter you'll see it. We have the letter from college of Graduate study indicating she has completed at least 2 years. Our question is that how we can claim her RA based on the following letter:

status update: got a pof request on April 3rd. No further news yet. Also ordered CAIPS, received it today. saying 76 poinst were awarded. The Canadian born child does award me 5 point adaptability. two years study does not count. TA and RA are counted for 2 year and 8 months. No other work experience counted. RCMP Screening sent on the same day of pof request. They assign next VO to check my file on April 24th. So it seems that after one VO checked out your app, they will assign another VO to do next step at a certain time. So I guess, if you want your case go faster, do the next step before hand, get everything prepared well before the assign date, and prepare as much as possible
